St. Agnes

Long time lifeboat supporter and newly qualified Doctor Mark Savage sent these photos and words about St.Agnes lifeboat:

My sons and I have a keen interest in most maritime things, particularly the boats, crews and the work of the RNLI. We regularly visit local stations in Norfolk and enjoy viewing and photographing the boats, as well as purchases in the gift shops.

On a family holiday in Cornwall this year we accidentally discovered a station we had not previously heard of, St Agnes.

They operate a D class inshore lifeboat, the sheds being a bit further down the hill from the main building.

At the end of our afternoon on the beach it looked like they might launch and we waited for a bit, but alas nothing came of it otherwise there would have been a film to go with this.

Many thanks Dr Mark for sharing these with us and we look forwards to submissions from the southern hemisphere when you finally get there.
